Las tecnologías digitales ofrecen nuevas oportunidades para el aprendizaje en una sociedad cada vez más conectada, en la cual aprender a trabajar con otros y colaborar se convierte en una competencia trascendental. El texto presenta resultados de una investigación sobre concepciones y prácticas del profesorado en ejercicio acerca de las metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo mediadas por las tecnologías de la comunicación (TIC), en centros de enseñanza de Educación Primaria y Secundaria. En el artículo se analizan los datos referidos a las aportaciones de las TIC para llevar a cabo procesos de trabajo colaborativo en el aula, desde el punto de vista de los docentes de los centros acreditados con alto nivel TIC por la Junta de Castilla y León. También se expondrán las limitaciones que imponen estas herramientas, así como las concepciones docentes sobre las estrategias de aprendizaje colaborativo. La metodología se basa en el análisis de contenido de entrevistas realizadas a equipos docentes de una muestra representativa de centros educativos. Los resultados apuntan que en estos centros los docentes atribuyen a las TIC una alta potencialidad para enriquecer las actividades de trabajo colaborativo entre los estudiantes y conseguir el desarrollo de competencias transversales de gran relevancia, aunque son conscientes de las dificultades a las que tanto alumnos como profesores se enfrentan en la práctica educativa. ; Digital technologies offer new opportunities for learning in an increasingly connected society, in which learning to work with others and collaborate has become an extremely important skill. This article presents the results of a research study into the conceptions and practices of working teachers regarding collaborative learning methodologies mediated by information and communication technologies (ICT) in Elementary and Secondary Education schools. We analyze data concerning ICT contributions to collaborative work processes in the classroom, from the point of view of teachers at schools accredited with a high level of ICT by the Regional Government of Castile and Leon. We furthermore take into account the limitations of these tools, as well as teachers' conceptions of collaborative learning strategies. The methodology is based on the content analysis of interviews of teachers from a representative sample of schools. The results indicate that teachers think that ICT have great potential for enhancing collaborative activities among students and for developing highly relevant generic skills, although they are also aware of the difficulties that both students and teachers face in educational practice.

En esta época la vida de los seres humanos está signada por las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC), a través de éstas, las personas generan espacios virtuales, conocimiento, interacciones y se relacionan en maneras antes inimaginables. En este contexto, es importante estudiar las competencias de los estudiantes en el uso de las TIC. Esta investigación, subvencionada por AECID (2009-10), tuvo como propósito identificar las competencias en el uso académico de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) por parte de los estudiantes universitarios en las universidades de: Salamanca, en España, Autónoma de Chihuahua y Veracruzana, en México. La muestra incluye los alumnos de clase de 20 profesores de cada universidad que utilizan significativamente las TIC en sus procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Los datos se obtuvieron por medio de un cuestionario aplicado a los estudiantes. Los resultados muestran confianza de los estudiantes en sus competencias en TIC para interactuar en ambientes de enseñanza mediados por tecnología.
